Hi,

I think it's a nice to have and an improvement.
It's quite clean, even if the number of Makefile's can really increase.

I've some questions:

Q1) It seems obvious (at least to me), that DOCS and EXAMPLES
should/could become subpackages.
How it could be handled by pkg? Are you thinking to add some "magic"
to enable or disable the automatic installation of specific
subpackages?

Q2) are we opening the door the -devel packages like some Linux distros?

Q3) Do you think there is a general way to decide what should stay an
OPTION and what should/could become a FLAVOR?

Q4) Can FLAVORs be in CONFLICT with each others or only conflict-free
FLAVOR will be accepted?
If ports can depend to FLAVOR, strange CONFLICTS can arise..

Thanks for the great job! I'll keep contributing as much as I can.

Best regards,
Luca
